Psalm 69:1-3, 29–30 NIV
1) Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.
2) I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.
3) I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
29) But as for me, afflicted and in pain— may your salvation, God, protect me.
30) I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #31: IATROS - PHYSICIAN
Key Scripture’s : LUKE 4:23

Understanding the Name:
Though the Jews used physicians, they believed healing came ultimately from God. He was Yahweh Rophe, “the Lord Who Heals.” What’s more, their DivineHealer had given them a set of laws that included hygienic practices that contributed to theirhealth and to their staying power as a people. Also, according to the Talmud, an authoritative collection of Jewish writings, evey city had its own doctor who was licensed by city officials. The temple in Jerusalem also had its own physician, assigned to take care of the priests.

Jesus’ healing miracles clearly reveal him as athe greatest of all physicians. While he emphasized the importance of faith in the healing process, the Gospels do not support the teaching that a lack of healing always indicates a lack of faith. Scripture does not presume that evey sickness is caused by individual sin. Rather, human beings become ill as the result of living in a fallen world.

It is interesting to note that the author of Like’s gospel, which recounts many of Jesus’ healing miracles, was himself a physician (See Colossians 4:14).
